DETAILS OF OOGENESIS • FEMALE GAMETOGENESIS: • Development of female germ cells into a new INDIVIDUAL. • DIPLOID precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature HAPLOID gamete. • Female gametes are ova produced in the ovaries. • ONLY 1 diploid OVUM and 3 haploid polar bodies are formed in this process( which may degenerate later).
